Got a question regarding an upcoming repair job: how to adhere an aluminum strip to glass.

Client has a glass shower that had a metal channel attached to the bottom of the door (glass) that had come off. I made a new channel out of aluminum angle and glued it on using [something I picked up at the hardware store: don't remember exactly what].

It didn't hold. I need to reglue the strip. What do y'all suggest?

No experience but... http://tinyurl.com/menda7 or

has over 700,000 "hits"

Well, you see, Lou, the reason I posted this question here instead of just Googling it is that I don't want to wade through those 700,000 hits. I figure I'm ahead if just one or two people here can tell me what they have *actually used* to glue these things together.


Makes sense to me. Now all you need is to have a few folks with actual experience show up. BTW I have always figured that the hits that count will be in the first 10 or so - often the first 5.
Please post back with the solution.
